Prognostic Value of Proliferation, Apoptosis, Defective DNA Mismatch Repair, and p53 Overexpression in Patients With Resected Dukes' B2 or C Colon Cancer
29 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Molecular studies of colon cancer have provided insights into pathogenesis, yet it is unclear how important these markers are in predicting prognosis. This study investigated the prognostic significance of TUNEL, bcl-2, p53, proliferation marker Ki-67 and DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status in patients with Dukes' stage B2 and C colorectal adenocarcinomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Tumor tissue from 366...
